Vestil BBL Bulk Bag Lifter, Rack & Filling Station System
The Vestil BBL system handles bulk bags (FIBCs) for lifting, filling, discharge, and storage — and you can buy it as a complete kit or as individual components. The open-center lifter hooks under the bag loops and leaves the top open for easy access while filling or emptying, with a built-in raised lip that helps prevent bag slippage. Optional connector arms let the loaded lifter rest evenly across the bars of the storage rack, and the rack itself has built-in fork pockets for quick transport and stacks neatly for storage. Steel construction with a durable powder-coat finish; custom colors available.
⚠️ IMPORTANT — capacity differs by component: the open-center lifter alone is rated 4,000 lb, while the rack and the complete kit are rated 1,000 lb. When the lifter is used with the rack/arms as a supported system, the 1,000 lb rating governs. Never exceed the rated capacity of the component you are using.
Why It's Different: One product family covers the whole workflow — lift, fill, transport, and store bulk bags — with the flexibility to buy only the piece you need.
Choose Your Configuration:
-
Complete Kit (BBL-B001): lifter + arms + rack together — 1,000 lb system
-
Open-Center Lifter Only (BBL-OC-4): 4,000 lb lifter with open-center access and anti-slip lip
-
Lifting/Storage Rack Only (BBL-RK-72): 1,000 lb, 61-1/8" tall, built-in fork pockets, stackable
-
Add-On Connector Arms (BBL-OC-RK-A): connect the open-center lifter to a rack (hardware included)
Best For: Breweries, farming and agriculture, recycling operations, and construction projects that fill, move, and store bulk bags of grain, aggregate, feed, or material.
⚠️ The connector arms require both the open-center lifter and a rack to function (rack sold separately unless you buy the kit).
⚠️ Fork-pocket widths differ — 5" on the lifter/kit and 7-5/8" on the rack; verify your forks fit each component you use.
⚠️ The connector arms are an accessory and have no standalone load rating.
⚠️ This system is handled with a fork truck — components have built-in fork pockets; an operating fork truck is required.
